Memory leaks when using epan

["Thierry Emmanuel" <Emmanuel.Thierry () technicolor com>]

Hello,

 

As I wrote in some of my mails, I work on a project which made me to use
the epan as a dissecting library, independently from the rest of the
wireshark source.

I have some troubles with memory handling. I have huge memory leaks when
I decode multicast streams (because there are lots of packets to dissect
of course :) ).

 

This kind of use isn't common, nor documented, so I must have made some
errors in my implementation or even in the structure of my wrappers.

So I have some questions to the wireshark gurus :

Do you see some reason, for example in my code, that could cause such
memory leaks ?

I have supposed that the whole memory used to build the proto_tree
wasn't free'd when I called proto_tree_free, do you free its content by
another way ?

Is there a way to force dissectors and the rest of Wireshark code to
release this memory ?

 

You'll find my code and the last lines of the valgrind output joined to
my message.

 

Best regards
